The Prime Minister may order a change of methods by which or conditions under which a securities finance company lends money or securities (limited to lending connected with the business prescribed in Article 156-24, paragraph (1)), if those methods or conditions are found to have become inappropriate in light of general economic conditions or the transactions on the financial instruments exchange market or over-the-counter securities market tend to be unsound, and the Prime Minister finds it to be particularly necessary for facilitating fair purchase and sales on the financial instruments exchange market or over-the-counter securities market as well as for achieving a smooth distribution of securities. In such a case, irrespective of the category of proceeding for hearing statements of opinion under Article 13, paragraph (1) of the Administrative Procedure Act, the Prime Minister must conduct a hearing.
